VIDEO:  Bad Choices
 
 
Without a support system, it’s hard for a teenager to stay out of trouble. Aderian reflects on the lessons he has learned from his bad choices. The film was made in December of 2004 along with 6 other films. The project sought to give a voice to youth in transition, youth aged 19-21 with experience in the justice or foster care system.
